is crap , why would you want 1.4ghz on a Gaming console that was made for 700mhz CPU.
They wont have any sales cause XBox Next is almost out and will have more than 1.4ghz

The chipset should be able to handle it, and with the CPU soldered to the MB I can't imagine any other checks being put into place....
But I guess we'll just have to wait for someone to buy one and disect it.

They're 2 angles I could see this from
1. They made a clone (there were quite a few clones in the early days of consoles but I think this is very unlikely
2. They're buying original xbox's and ripping them apart
bad bad business model, add amazing ammount of hassle to change processor and cost of new case, extra hardware. This just so obviously isn't a goer, the best they can hope for is obscurity.
Xbox next is still a couple of years away yet give the xbox time to live 1st.

Cool that the mod worked, but it's impractical, so i doubt anyone would sell it (unless, of course, people are dumb enough to buy it).

Double the CPU power is a HUGE plus in the emulation scene, which is my first and foremost concern of my xbox.
Quite frankly i couldnt give a shit about xbox games. I dont play them. Im much more into console emulation, and 1.4 ghz over 700mhz spells sweet stuff to me.
There are alot of things that can take advantage of this upgrade, including emulators, linux (and emulation in linux, such as wine..gaming, and lots of other stuff)
So its hardly a matter of stupidity to buy it. Its a great technical feat.

Upping the processor speed to 1.4 entails a couple things: One, that is likely a P4 (probably a Willamete or an early 0.13um Northwood). Xbox wasn't created to work with the P4 socket or power supply. Xbox was designed with a Celeron P3 in mind. Even the faster P3's (Tualatin's 1.2's) use a slightly different socket. Second, is the Xbox chipset/bus compatible with P4? Possibly, but not guaranteed. The IO speed should be sufficient since xbox rarely saturates the IO. Not too mention there's not a whole lot of disk access during game-play other than load times.

Kinda B.S... the comparison on the above website.
They claim that the standard Xbox only supports standard stereo audio and no s-video. Period. Umm... whatever. To at least give an objective comparison, mention the capabilities, but also the additional purchase of the adv. a/v pack.

You'd have to solder wires to all the pins or create your own socket. |

trust me on this, i use to have a 1.2ghz celeron tulatin running on a socket 370 board without an adaptor.
as for the xbox cpu - we know its not true p3, so the socket could well be different aswell.
